Fodor's Review

Oregon's first cooperative winery was specifically designed to house multiple small premium wine producers. This gravity-flow winery has up-to-date winemaking equipment as well as multiple cellars for storing the different makers' wines. You can taste and purchase bottles from the different member wineries: Andrew Rich, Asilda, Bachelder, Dukes Family Vineyeard, Hamacher Wines, Lazy River Vineyard, Merriman Wines, Mad Violets, Omero, Retour Wine Co., Trout Lily Ranch,

Utopia Vineyard, and Wahle Vineyards and Cellars. The emphasis is on Pinot Noir, but more than a dozen other types of wines are poured, from Cabernet Franc to Gewürztraminer to Mourvèdre on a rotating basis. The selection of wines available to taste changes every few days.
